Handa's Surprise - A Book With Fabulous Illustrations and Humour Advantages: Good story, great use of colour Disadvantages: None Handa's Surprise I was working in the school library, when I stumbled across this book - it brought back memories of when I used to read it both to my own children and also the children in my class. What is it all about? This is a beautifully illustrated picture book published by Walker Books. It starts with a foreword that says " The children featured in this book are from the Luo tribe of South West Kenya. It tells the tale of Handa. She ... ...her she carries 7 fruits which she thinks Akeyo may like. Now the journey is long way and she carries the fruit on her head in a basket. Along the way she passes many animals, who help themselves to the fruit out of her basket and it looks as if she will have nothing by the time she arrives to see her friend.

Henrys big bad/fab book review! Advantages: Another compilation of fantastic stories, and much more! Disadvantages: None. As documented in my last Horrid Henry book review, we really like him in our house, though am glad my youngest Connor has grown out of wanting to be Henry when he gets older, that wasn’t a pleasant couple of months I can tell you! Horrid Henry, for the people who have never heard of him, is an obnoxious 10 year old boy, he is only happy when he is getting the upper hand with people, causing trouble, giving his parents grief, bullying his younger ... ...Lol! Alongside the numerous Horrid Henry books that my daughter owns, she has also quite a number of rehashed editions, these are in a nutshell so-called “favourites” that get re-printed into a book, a compilation if you will. The main difference with these books is they are all in colour, many of the older books are all black and white with pictures being decipherable but somewhat scribbly! The book I will now review is - “Horrid Henry’s big ... sarahbarrow 09.10.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Horrid Henry's Big Bad Book: Ten Favourite Stories - and More! - Francesca Simon	Would you read it again?

The author of these books is Francesca Simon and each book is based around the antics of Horrid Henry.

Horrid Henry' Nits is book number 4 and was published in 1996. The book contains four stories entitled, Horrid Henry's Nits, Horrid Henry and the Fangmangler Horrid Henry's School Trip and Horrid Henry and the Dinner Guests. Each story is roughly 20 pages in length and so is more than manageable for children. The stories are also interspersed with some fabulous illustrations by Tony Ross, which grab and hold children's attention as well ...

What's Dragonese for Flipping fantastic? Advantages: Funny, adventurous, imaginative Disadvantages: maybe a bit gross for some parents ...releasing the first film , How to Train your Dragon in 2009. *About the author* As a relatively new addition to the world of successful Children's books authors, there isn't a lot known about Cowell.

Harry Potter book 6 Advantages: Great Storyline Disadvantages: The book ends ...it down...except to sleep! Harry is starting his sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and has found an old used book in potions which its previous owner wrote extra instructions and new spells in. He starts to beat Hermione in Potions tests and this really annoys her as she is supposed to be the most intelligent witch of her age!
